Tom Pelissero of
NFL Network is reporting that San Francisco 49ers guard Joshua Garnett will miss at least the first month of the season. The second-year player injured his knee during practice earlier this month and had surgery on August 10 to "clean out" the knee. However, Pelissero stated that there is no setback for Garnett.
The 49ers had been hopeful that Garnett might be available for their Week 1 regular season home game against the Carolina Panthers, but head coach Kyle Shanahan said that
it would be "a battle" for him to return in that timeframe. Shanahan has previously stated that he does not believe the injury to be long-term but that Garnett's recovery would take "a little bit of time."
On Thursday, the 49ers
traded for Detroit Lions offensive lineman Laken Tomlinson, who has experience playing the guard position and likely gives the team some flexibility.

The 49ers had hoped that Garnett could be a big contributor in 2017 but it looks like it will take some time to get him back into the lineup. He was the 28th overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft and started 11 games for the 49ers as a rookie last season.

Either way, the 49ers need to hit on these draft picks, especially in the early rounds, where they haven't always been at their best. John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have some first-round misses, like DT Solomon Thomas and LB Rueben Foster. But are those the worst first-round picks in team history? Neither made this list, though some will argue that Thomas should be on it, mainly because he was taken
